Thin almond layer, topped with creamy cherry mousse, covered in chocolate and crispy caramelized almonds.
This mini cherry mousse torte is delicious, light and beautiful.
I can’t say that this recipe is quick, but it’s easy, plus, you can do the work in parts – you could bake the almond layer a day in advance and cook the cherries a day ahead, too. The next day you can finish the mousse and assemble the cakes. To additionally ease your work, you can make one big cake instead of mini cakes, it’s up to you!
Bottom line is that these cakes deserve every minute spent in the kitchen, simply because they are heaven!
Enjoy, everyone!
Fall flavors are taking over, but I’m trying not to go too wild with just pumpkin and pumpkin spice. I whipped up this variation on traditional hummus with a little back-kick of sweetness from butternut squash. The trick is that you actually can totally sub in pumpkin or sweet potato since you’ll get a really similar taste and consistency with any of them. But I chose the squash this time around, and I did not regret it.
